Biology / Chemistry at The Potter's School

Thank you, that does help. I like Blue Tent, but its schedule also conflicts with what DS already has in place. Ugh. -
Biology / Chemistry at The Potter's School

Bumping this in case someone has any more thoughts on The Potter's School for honors Bio. Our kids have taken science (including honors and AP) through Wilson Hill thus far and loved it. They have also used Novare science texts for non-AP level classes and they've been great. Unfortunately, DS now has a scheduling conflict because the section he was enrolled in had to be closed and we're scrambling to find an honors biology class for next year. -
Yes, I've researched this one in similar ways that you've described and it doesn't seem to be worth it. Thank you for your input!

Our freshman DD has been invited by her university to join the Alpha Lambda Delta Academic Honor Society. I searched the threads and found several older posts about other academic societies, but nothing recent about this particular one. Any thoughts? TIA!

There's also a massive manhunt still underway, with a shooter that is an incredible marksman, a skilled outdoorsman, and by all accounts - a meticulous planner.

I know. I'm waiting for my daughter and husband to come home safely at the end of the day. Stay safe ❤️ .

Amen to this! It also would have helped if he hadn't been well trained, but that's obviously not not true in most other cases.

Thank you for the info about flight tracker. It's not like I can "help"... it's so hard to listen to them and feel helpless. They were circling above us when we went to close up our coop last night and started back at 5AM. We're not even in the lockdown area. At the very least, it's reassuring to know there is a huge team out there, searching.

It seems like this is the perfect storm of a person who is both very capable of killing and hiding, but also possibly actively psychotic. I kind of wish all of Maine would lock down. I'm not too happy about my kid going to class at UMaine Orono tomorrow, especially given the fact that the suspect is UMaine Orono alumnus. @MEmama how do I filter for helicopters on the flight tracker? Is that a paid upgrade only or am I missing something? Ugh. Even in this age of information-instantly-at-our-fingertips, the not knowing and the wait are just awful. Stay safe ❤️ .

@MEmama thank you! Watching the live scene along with you all.

So glad our Maine boardies are OK, and thankful my UMaine freshman's classes were cancelled today. Where can I find helicopter flight radar? We've been hearing helicopters most of the day (we're in the Bangor area) and it's truly unnerving. He could be anywhere by now.

Some say the "deathbed" edition is the one to read, others maintain that nothing compares to the original. I do know that the sheer number of poems differs greatly. What does the Hive say? Bonus points if you happen to know of an illustrated version. TIA!
